  • @chickenbonewatt You're very welcome! Glad to be a part of your beekeeping journey!

  • Thanks budoonk!

  • nice job on the video

  • good demo and explanation..

  • In this case, the plug was a simple metal disc stapled to the cage, and covering the sugar candy that plugged the exit hole. We bent it back & used it to attach the queen cage to the top bar. The candy plug, i.e., sugar barrier, creates a "time-release" situation - the bees cannot physically get to the queen until the candy is eaten and she is released - so it allows time for them to accept or "bond" with her pheromone.

  • Great step by step! Would like to see the smaller parts of the queen cage a little closer though. I couldn't tell how you took the plug out. Also a mention perhaps as to why there is an initial sugar barrier between the queen and the rest of the colony.

  • Christy, I love your clips, thank you.

    Informative, step, by step you're Mag!

  • very nice thank you
